Download or read book Scars of Sweet Paradise written by Alice Echols and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2000-02-15 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janis Joplin was the skyrocket chick of the sixties, the woman who broke into the boys' club of rock and out of the stifling good-girl femininity of postwar America. With her incredible wall-of-sound vocals, Joplin was the voice of a generation, and when she OD'd on heroin in October 1970, a generation's dreams crashed and burned with her. Alice Echols pushes past the legary Joplin-the red-hot mama of her own invention-as well as the familiar portrait of the screwed-up star victimized by the era she symbolized, to examine the roots of Joplin's muscianship and explore a generation's experiment with high-risk living and the terrible price it exacted. A deeply affecting biography of one of America's most brilliant and tormented stars, Scars of Sweet Paradise is also a vivid and incisive cultural history of an era that changed the world for us all.

Download or read book Janis written by Holly George-Warren and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the 2020 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence This blazingly intimate biography of Janis Joplin establishes the Queen of Rock & Roll as the rule-breaking musical trailblazer and complicated, gender-bending rebel she was. Janis Joplin’s first transgressive act was to be a white girl who gained an early sense of the power of the blues, music you could only find on obscure records and in roadhouses along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast. But even before that, she stood out in her conservative oil town. She was a tomboy who was also intellectually curious and artistic. By the time she reached high school, she had drawn the scorn of her peers for her embrace of the Beats and her racially progressive views. Her parents doted on her in many ways, but were ultimately put off by her repeated acts of defiance. Janis Joplin has passed into legend as a brash, impassioned soul doomed by the pain that produced one of the most extraordinary voices in rock history. But in these pages, Holly George-Warren provides a revelatory and deeply satisfying portrait of a woman who wasn’t all about suffering. Janis was a perfectionist: a passionate, erudite musician who was born with talent but also worked exceptionally hard to develop it. She was a woman who pushed the boundaries of gender and sexuality long before it was socially acceptable. She was a sensitive seeker who wanted to marry and settle down—but couldn’t, or wouldn’t. She was a Texan who yearned to flee Texas but could never quite get away—even after becoming a countercultural icon in San Francisco. Written by one of the most highly regarded chroniclers of American music history, and based on unprecedented access to Janis Joplin’s family, friends, band mates, archives, and long-lost interviews, Janis is a complex, rewarding portrait of a remarkable artist finally getting her due.

Download or read book Full Tilt Boogie written by John Jr. Hanley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hanley has given us a surprisingly inspiring self-help book, an adventure in being. Informal, energetic and wise, Full-Tilt Boogie has the look and feel of a winner." George Leonard, author of Mastery and The Way of Aikido "Hanley has composed a "self-help" book that really delivers. Written in an accessible style, Full-Tilt Boogie provides insight into and advice about a host of important issues that face everyone. Without denying the difficulties involved in living life fully, Hanley offers a plausible recipe for doing so. Highly recommended." Michael E. Zimmerman, Ph.D., author of Eclipse of the Self and Contesting Earth's Future From our earliest days, each of us assembles a life based on what we see it is possible to be. From our frame of reference, we do the best we can, gaining competence in many areas, even mastery in a few. We fill our days with fleeting pleasures and momentary rewards. Our external success acts as a protective buffer against the demands of an inner turmoil characterized by a troubling inability to be fully whole and complete, fully at home with ourselves. The sum total of our accomplishments, both personal and professional, is assembled as an attempt to adapt to a negative self-assessment we take to be true. Most of us, at some point in our adult lives, take steps to address this inner dimension. We hire therapists, go to seminars, read books, or, perhaps, simply go on vacation. While temporarily blessed by distraction, most of us find ourselves right back where we started, not to mention a few dollars short. The problem is that most of our attempts to feel better about ourselves begin with and ultimately perpetuate the premise that something is fundamentally wrong with who we are. Our underlying turmoil stems from a fundamentally negative self-assessment. Once marked with the assessment, "I'm not right - Something is wrong with me," no amount of accomplishment or improvement can overcome the underlying negativity. Even in the midst of times when things appear to be going our way, there remains a nagging sense that, still, something isn't right, that something is missing. There is no path to power, joy, and fulfillment that does not intersect with the way we've constructed ourselves. Full-Tilt Boogie will show adults searching for personal power, joy, and fulfillment how to dismantle their negative self-identity and replace it with a new possibility of their own design. Full-Tilt Boogie avoids the platitudinous approach of most self-help books for a thoughtful presentation of the conceptual insights and behavior changes inherent in a legitimate process of personal transformation. Full-Tilt Boogie focuses on the conceptual understanding necessary for bringing about a legitimate personal transformation. The reader will explore the depth and breadth of the negative "reality" they find themselves in before considering the alternative possibility called full-tilt boogie living. In addition the book delineates essential practices one must follow in order to integrate their conceptual transformational into their everyday way of being and behavior. The author, John Hanley, Jr., is an experienced transformational trainer and coach whose 15 years of experience working with over 15,000 individuals around the world have prepared him well to capture in writing the ultimate transformational guide. Full-Tilt Boogie is a book that will give the reader the keys to the life they have always wanted to live. What's unique about the book is that it approaches self-help with the depth and rigor of a classic existentialist essay recalibrated into a 21st century, mainstream style. Full-Tilt Boogie, with its unique emphasis on inviting the reader to confront his or her underlying negative self-assessment on the way toward creating a personal identity founded in

Download or read book The Parts of a House written by and published by Richard Marek Publishers. This book was released on 1980 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is an attempt to take apart and describe the constituent parts of a typical one to two family house ... I have tried to explain, in the most general terms, a building's basic anatomy; but just as no two people are exactly alike, so are houses seldom identical, although share a similar framework and have been constructed on similar principles. Therefore your mullions and muntins may not be quite as I have drawn them, but the chances are that you will have some, and will be able to recognize them from what is written here. Also, while I have tried to include everything that might be part of a house's construction, not everything here will be found in a single house - so you may look in vain for your cricket or conrice return, but you will know them when you see them in another house. ... While this book refers to smaller houses, much of the information is pertinent to dwellings in general, including flats, apartment buildings, and institutional residences. (However, it must be borne in mind that the reverse is not necessarily true; there are some features of very large buildings not mentioned here.)..."--Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Born to Run, a heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America, and, in the process, discovering the life-changing power of the human-animal connection. "A delight, full of heart and hijinks and humor." —John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog When Christopher McDougall decided to adopt a donkey in dire straits, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. But with the help of his neighbors, Chris came up with a crazy idea. Burro racing, a unique type of competition in which humans and donkeys run side by side over mountains and through streams, would be exactly the challenge Sherman and Chris needed. In the course of Sherman’s training, Chris would enlist Amish running clubs, high-spirited goats, the service animal community, and two Sarah Palin–loving long-distance female truckers. Sherman’s heartwarming story of overcoming all odds to run one of the most unbelievable races in America shows the healing power of movement and the strength of the human-animal connection. Look for Christopher McDougall's new book, Born to Run 2, coming in December!
